611 Baker Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

611 Baker Avenue is a two-family residential building located in the Van Nest neighborhood, owned by Aldo Mancebo. The 1920 property, which is two stories tall, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, from late 2024 through early 2025, there were multiple heating system-related complaints, including three separate reports of heat/hot water issues, with the most recent being a radiator problem filed in January 2025.

While some of these complaints were investigated and found not to violate HPD housing laws, the radiator issue remains unresolved as of its April 2025 inspection attempt. A significant pest infestation was reported in May 2023, resulting in violations, and the building experienced an electrical power outage in May 2022, though no violations were noted following inspection. The building's historical record includes three complaints about illegal conversions (2018, 2020, and 2022), with inspectors unable to gain access for verification during two of the inspections.

Additionally, there was a complaint regarding potential excavation issues and undermining of an adjacent building in 2020, though this inspection also found no violations. While the building has maintained two-family classification, these repeated complaints about various systems and unauthorized modifications suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has had some complaints requiring immediate emergency response, particularly concerning heating systems and electrical issues, indicating these are recurring concerns affecting resident comfort and safety.
